Why not Future Simple
In my book I came across a sentence:
"We will do our best to ensure that your holiday runs smoothly."
Why is Future Simple not possible:
"We'll do our best to ensure that your holiday will run smoothly."
?
Thanks

She'll see you soon. ~ She will see you soon. Both are Future Simple Tense.

OK. I see that we are dealing with the problem of the "unfortunate coincidence".
You have two uses of the future in your sentence, and you are only concerned with the second one, though you also wrote a variant of the first one, which distracted us from your real question.
